Fig. 4B View Fig .
Holotype: MNHN.F. R07043 (coll. Louis Piton); a nearly complete but very poorly preserved specimen.
Type locality: Historical quarry of Menat, Menat, Puy-de-Dôme, France.
Type horizon: Middle Paleocene, Menat Basin.
Material.— Holotype only.
Remarks.— The extant genus Ochrilidia belongs to the Acrididae : Gomphocerinae . This fossil has narrow tegmina, with apparently few cells, with a narrow area between C and R and a darkened area between RA and C in distal part of wing Its hind legs are elongate and with a rather thin femur; the head is orthognathous. The rather reduced number of cells in distal part of tegmina would exclude this fossil from the Acrididae . It could be an Eumastacoidea . Its attribution to the genus Ochrilidia is not supported by any argument. It is a Caelifera of uncertain affinities.
Stratigraphic and geographic range.— Paleocene, Menat Formation, Menat, France.
